Suicide attempt backfires<\/p>\n
KUPANG, East Nusa Tenggara (JP): A jealous woman failed in her
\nsuicide attempt last week when a speeding truck just missed her,
\nonly to get into trouble with the police for endangering others.<\/p>\n
Police said on the weekend that Siti Maryam, 18, laid on her
\nback, arms spread, in a busy street with the intention of getting
\nkilled after she had a bitter argument with her boyfriend, Daud
\nMuklis, 19.<\/p>\n
A speeding truck managed to stop just inches away from her
\nafter a frantic crowd screamed and waved at it. A woman passerby
\nsustained a scratch on her buttock when a startled motorcyclist
\nlost control of his bike, skidded and hit her, eyewitnesses said.<\/p>\n
The police said the quarrel flared after Maryam accused Muklis
\nof turning his back on her and loving another woman, an
\naccusation that Muklis flatly denied.<\/p>\n
In a frenzy, Maryam ran into the street after Muklis said he
\ndoubted she would have the guts to kill herself, police said.<\/p>\n
The police declined to say if the jealous woman would be taken
\nto court. (yac\/pan)<\/p>",
